Work hard? I hate to be immodest, but to set the record straight, like Emmanuel, I graduated at the top of my class (Summa cum laude) from a top school in the U.S also. Winner of Lockheed Martin scholarship out 10,000 applicants. Also graduated at the top of my high school class: Loyola Jesuit College. So, speaking of "hard work" I have been working hard all my life.

Bigger boyz .

and don't waste your time I have learnt to ignore him. Where else can one troll if not on the internet?

I don't even bother reading the nonsense he posts, its an absolute waste of time.

lekibraky: it is 3.9 in a zcale of 4.0 so if u want that in nigeria u will have 4.9 in a scale of 5.0

That's likely gonna be 4.97/5 not 4.90.

Welldone bruv, hope u are not fixated by ur distinction and academic records like some Nairalanders.

The highlighted sentence you wrote is what i feel is wrong with the Black race. Every time they succeed, they always make reference to the fact that they face discrimination.

Is it not right that they tell the truth about the difficulties they experience? The truth is that racism still exist in academics, sport, corporate world e.t.c and people of color have to work sometimes as twice as hard as their white peers to gain recognition.

Gr8...this is the Kind of stuff we want to see on here, Thinking to print and share this with my kids ASAP. By the way, I used to know some Ohuabunwa's...one in Lagos...a renown Pharmacist and the other(younger) in P.H. a Telecomms Expert....Think His first name is Godfrey or so..I played Basketball with him many years back in Benin City. Anybody know if they're related?

shymmex: Only a teenager will cosign faggitmite... How old safarigirl again?? The kid just turned 18 for crying out loud..

An overgrown grandpa getting cosigned by an 18 years old kid...

Add being a pervert to your achievements, sagamite.

Would be nice if you left 'the kid' out of your beef. You may mean to diss Sagamite, but 'the kid' doesn't like being the missile for two adults' disagreements. Meanwhile, age is no determination for one's mindset. Most teenagers would much rather read a fashion or sports article, this teen has other interests, don't intimidate, please.

You think it's easy to maintain a 3.9 GPA in the USA? Dude, out here, the standards here are pretty high. Your work is vetted for accuracy and to avoid plagiarism unlike Nigeria, where people can sleep their way to a high GPA.

slimming: so 3.9 GPA is a celebration in that university? when lots of people are making 4.5+ in Nigeria without international recognition.

The young man from Abia State has done the country proud. I am so proud of his achievements and having gone through his interview he made some salient points as regards the way forward for Nigerian education and the health sector as well.Going by what I read the Emmanuel has the right Nigerian spirit-resilience in adversity.

Thumbs up Emmanuel Ohuabunwa! Your country-Naija is proud of you achievements. No matter what the western media might say on our battered image, some of us would continually shake the world in multifaceted walks of life and our dearly beloved country-Naija would continually be written in the annals of gold.

Finally,I would like to highlight three key reasons that seem to have hampered most people in life,viz: lack of opportunities,indolence,and misplaced priorities.

interesting , 5 pages and not one person mentioned he is igbo. the earlier igbos leave this evil backward nigeria filled with haters the better for us, see them fools always trying to claim igbo achievements as nigerias /

Congratulations to the guy but I am not sure this is particularly worthy of an entire news article! I graduated with a 3.95 and was the only black kid inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in my graduating class. I didn't publish any of this in the news! Neither did any of the white kids who also graduated Phi Beta Kappa and went on to very prestigious graduate schools. We Nigerians need to just chill-out! Good grades + top graduate schools should be a matter-of-course, not an accomplishment worthy of breaking news!

Congratulation man, you're truly a son of the soil and mama Africa call you home. He says he will come back home but am not sure they will allow him to come back to Naija ooh.. Those white people will not allow him when they know how indispensable he is. Another stolen brain..
